Hi nivenj,
I would never try to diagnose you in place of a doctor but if your worried dont feel bad for going to your doctor to have it checked. My doctors are pretty confident that while I am on warfarin it is "highly unlikely" that new clots will form, or existing clots will move, but its always best to be safe than sorry. Ive seen posts on here of people who have had second PE's while on warfarin because of a rare intollerance, but PLEASE dont let that worry you! I think the best thing to remember is, while you are on warfarin (and your levels look good) you are reasonably safe. You know what a PE feels like Im sure, so always look out for that. If your worried, talk to your doctor and they can help you, even if its just to say theres nothing there. All the best!

I just re-read what I wrote and I didnt meant to make it sound like your at high risk of something happening again! lol. Im sorry about that. What Im trying to say is dont stress over it, get your doc to check it :)

I'd give it some time (a day or so) before you head off to the doc. Considering that your INR is already therapeutic, they wouldn't be able to do much anyway.

I get aches and pains all the time and still have to talk myself out of the idea that it is another clot. But, seriously, I think I got aches and pains all the time *before* I ever clotted and just didn't think twice about 'em. I'm way more paranoid now.

I get weird tweaks in my legs (especially my clot leg) if I lie on the couch funny, or sleep in a weird position, or grout a bathroom floor (which I did this weekend). It is hard to tell what to worry about and what not to, but I'd give this a day or so to subside.

If it suddenly gets a lot worse or your leg puffs up huge, I would head to the ER of course ... but otherwise, just stay alert.

I would definately watch for more-than-normal swelling and feeling warm to the touch. Also, a pain that changes a lot depending on position is generally more worrying than a pain that is constant no matter the position.

Thanks, Was still the same this morning. Phoned the anticoagulant clinic and was advised that as my INR is 2.6 i'm ok. She reckons as I had a PE it probably came from the leg and the pain is probably just a clot in my leg moving ing around so nothing to worry about!. Take some paracetamol and rest my leg.Really? All this misinformation just makes me frustrated. If there is a clot in my leg and a bit broke off and caused my PE, shouldn't the fact that a clot in my leg is moving not be worrying that another bit might break off (they havent scanned leg to see if there is a clot there, how big it is if there is and its condition), and cause a more severe event?

Pain in leg has eased a bit, but started coughing blood again this morning, pain in right arm and feels like I have a stitch in my right side. Will get appt with doc tomorrow :-(

Hope everything will be ok, thinking of you :)

I wish you would go to the doctor/hospital right away nivenj...best of luck, keep us posted.

Just had telephone appt with doc, he's told me to get my ass to a&e so off I go. Will let you know.

Good. Glad you are going to the hospital. Keep us posted! Fingers crossed for you...
